Well, a friend of mind talks to people all over the world and he saids you can do it and it is free, Is it true, do you have to have a cam to talk to the person? he said all you do is talk talk through your speakers, and you can talk to anyone in the world. Like when you have Yahoo Messenger, If you know anything about tis let me know, I hae a few friends that I would like to talk to from other parts of the world. Ok, Have a nice weekend!

OK,you know QQ number is very popular in China. First you have to apply a number in "qq.com" and install the progrogram which is provied by QQ Authority. Second,you have to enter your QQ number and log in, then you can choose your friends and talk to them by typing and talking on the earphone. I think it is very simlar to ICQ. Have you ever an ICQ number?

You don't have to have a cam, as you can just use a microphone, but I use the microphone that's built into my cam. Yes, you can speak to people anywhere in the world on your messengers. Great, huh?
Brightest Blessings, my friend.

If you have Yahoo Messenger and a mic you can talk to people. I never really gave it much thought. I do have yahoo messenger, I don't have a mic or a camera. I think you can get both without spending alot of money. When we were in Florida a few years ago, I talked to my son and family on my sisters computer. I wonder why more people don't do it if its so easy and free. I am sure you will get some good answers, I am not sure about all of it.

back then when I still have yahoo messenger, we can do that.
I don't remember if the other person has to have messenger too or not.
these days I heard about magic jack, it's something you attach to your pc.
it only works in the US though. it would be neat if there is something like that here.

My partner uses a service called Skype, and it is free. All you need is the software, a decent internet speed and the headset. once all those are aquired, then it is free to talk to anyone around the world.
A web cam is not necessary either, unless you want to use it as well.
i don't think it will be long before the humble home phone will be obsolete.

Yes, I also talk to my cousin who is outside the county because she is working there. Talking through cellphone or sending a text message through cellphone is too expensive so we just use internet to talk to her. She open her account in the internet and I will open mine too and all we have to do is to open our cam and we can see each other. We can chat there and we can also here our voice with the help of the computer's mic.
